    Use two size trowels to build up/flatten?

    I have a valley in the cement and am not willing to use self-levelling. Only maybe around 1/4" off and it's really only one strip of the floor. Seems like using a 1/4 X 3/8 for everywhere but a 1/2 X 1/2 for that line of tiles wouldn't be a bad idea to even things out. Is that a typical practice...

    Big floors, big trowels

    I've seen these large trowels for flooring on most tiling tool sites, does anyone use one? Do they make trowelling faster and more consistent ?

    BAL Kubala hand tools now in the UK

    I've been tiling for last 16 years or so. I've noticed that pro tilers use great tile cutters but often overlook hand tools. How often you bought trowel that lasted 2 jobs? I sometimes struggled with bad grout float for weeks. It all changed when I started to use Kubala tools from Poland. In...

    Rubi trowels?

    Hi, I understand why Bal designed their thin bed solid bed trowel as they have although by the sounds of it people prefer the Rubi trowels. Would an 8mm square notched trowel suffice for wet areas or is a u shape version available? Thanks
